I had also tried the technique on some Claudine Hellmuth canvaswhen experimenting and so I cut off a piece that I frayed to match a section on the bottom left. I stamped the text from Stuff to Say with potting soiland repeat stamped onto acetate and clear embossed it.

I used a little renaissance treasure gold just on the seed heads to add some definition and a gilding pen around the edge. Not the easiest to photo with glass beads and acetate but hopefully you can see the effect.
Please pop across here and see what fabulous makes my talented team mates have created and hopefully will inspire you. As always thanks so much for stopping by.

Ruth, this is absolutely beautiful! I've looked at that stencil and wondered about it and now I see how it should be used! The colours are a delight: soft, feminine and grungy all in one go. The bead gel works a treat and the touch of gilding on the top is perfect. Looking forward to seeing more of your art and very proud to be on the DT with you.Julia xx

This is beautiful Ruth and I love the beautiful colours and stencilling. The gel looks fab too and the Treasured Gold just completes the look. I look forward to sharing our crafting journey together on ATP

Your canvas is stunning Ruth! I love the way the sprays have worked on the cotton and the glass beads look amazing, this really does have the WOW factor! I am really looking forward to using my two new Prima sprays now.... thanks so much for the inspiration. Anne x

This is stunning Ruth! I love the delicacy of the colours and the shimmer is gorgeous. I've always wanted to try the Golden beaded gel and the effect you have achieved makes me want to try it even more.
